Jude is dealing with false teachers in the midst of the Church. He uses Old Testament references to warn against rejecting God's design and authority. We reap what we sow. Are folly and flesh being sown in your life? Or are you being influenced by wisdom and the Holy Spirit? Speaker: Brad Bell

The book of Jude compels readers to contend for the faith in truth as he writes a message of warning. Jude gives three examples of past failures from the Old Testament: one of rebellious Israelites, rebellious angels, and rebellious people.But Jude doesn't just want to give a Jewish history. God's Word is living and active, and this caution is applicable even today.  Speaker: Brad Bell

What issues are the most important to our faith, and what issues can we disagree on as believers? The Book of Jude compels readers to contend for the faith in orthodox Christianity and fight for unity in peripheral matters. We must be faithful to the truth, and that faithfulness to the truth will inform how we live.  Speaker: Mike Slayden

Jude, believed to be Jesus's half-brother, is writing a message of judgment to people who are not truly believers. The book of Jude exposes false teaching and compels readers to contend for the faith in light of false teachers. We must be faithful to the truth, and that faithfulness to the truth will inform how we live. Ultimately, the book of Jude raises our eyes to the beauty of a God who revealed himself in truth.  Speaker: Brad Bell

In his third epistle, John writes a personal letter to Gaius to assure him of his integrity in supporting missionaries. John touches on light, truth, and love throughout all his writings and affirms the truth of who Jesus is. Speaker: Mike Slayden

John touches on light, truth, and love throughout his writings and affirms the truth of who Jesus is.So what does it mean when John warns against receiving deceivers in your home? We must be tethered to the truth of God's Word, which calls us to unconditional love, not unconditional acceptance.  Speaker: Brad Bell
